Well said.

The former (and now abandoned) attempt by Obama operatives to find an equivalence by Wright (whose rants Obama regularly subjected his children to) to Hagee (someone who endorsed the man) is as funny and empty as the Obama’s camp’s recent attempts to attack Palin as being inexperienced.

Really, the more Obama says “You need experience to be President,” the happier I am! (I think zenpundit agrees [2]).

par1,

Marxist’s like Bill Ayres are one of the main reasons that we need to support the destruction of the ivory tower. [3]

It’s a shame.

Now he is a “professor” brainwashing susceptible teenagers and young adults. I saw such leftists salivating for control of the educational system in the 70s when I went to UCB. How did he get such a sought after position? From the leftists who control the institution.

It is amazing to me how such a pig is not in jail. If he had done such things in his beloved China, who would have been sentenced to death, which deep down is what he believes he deserves. I think he hates himself and rightfully so.

It goes like this:

Basically, the war for Armageddon is coming, and if we don’t attack Iran, something really bad is going to happen to Israel.

Sometimes Hagee’s son fills in. He doesn’t get to do the geopolitical-Biblical-futurism. He just does the regular sermons.

Most Jews are actually quite distrustful of Hagee because they think he’ll turn on them one day. They’ve seen Christianity get pissed off at them a few times in history and would rather not have to deal with it.

Yeah, I took the term anti-Semitism out of context and then reemphasized what I was trying to get at in the first place. So where exactly am I coming from?

Those like Jeffrey demand that politicians associate with those with the current theological beliefs. I on the other hand believe that theological beliefs are non-political, and so look only to how those beliefs impact policy.”

Of all people, you would be the last that I would expect to straw man me by asserting that I am criticizing Hagee in order to put McCain in a corner. If you read my words carefully, you would know my criticism of Hagee is mutually exclusive, a completely different topic that has nothing to do with McCain, and I though I made it pretty clear that I thought there wasn’t much a relationship between Hagee and McCain to begin with.

Speaks volumes about where you’re coming from.

You’re kidding right? Hagee actually believes that its a sin not to defend Israel and most Evangelicals consider Jews to the “chosen people.” Hagee also supported the bombing of Arab Christians in Lebanon by Israel. I think you can call Hagee a lot of things (Fundamentalist, close minded) but “anti-Semite” is not one of them. One of his hobbies is to constantly apologize to Jews for every and all supposed acts of anti-semitism through history by Christians.

Those like Jeffrey demand that politicians associate with those with the current theological beliefs. I on the other hand believe that theological beliefs are non-political, and so look only to how those beliefs impact policy.

As a race, no, but he is still anticipating a prophecy that involves “religious” Jews being forced to convert, which is just as reprehensible and bigoted.

“Hagee is far from anti-Semitic, he’s a huge cheerleader for Israel and the Jewish people.”

Yes, because they are pawns in his eyes. He is trying to self-fulfill a prophecy so he can selfishly get his land of milk and honey.

We as Jews are supposed to judge men not by what they believe, but by what they do. For Jews, actions are what matter.

What is far more important than how Pastor Hagee explains the past Holocaust is what he is doing to prevent a second Holocaust. Pastor Hagee has done more to defend Israel and the Jewish people than anyone else I know. He has literally devoted his adult life to the effort to combat anti-Semitism and build support for the Jewish State. Despite death threats from anti-Semites, despite protest marches from neo-Nazis, and despite the shrill complaints of suspicious Jews, Pastor Hagee has persevered in his work on our behalf.

Do we really want to treat our friends like this? Do we really want to ignore years of devoted labor on our behalf because of a few controversial statements? I, for one, do not.
